Sex, pole-dancing and the Kama Sutra aren't topics that you would expect to find on my blog and rightly so - Belle de Jour I am not and I'd get no satisfaction from pouring those sort of details of my life onto the Internet. However, when an opportunity arises to hear what science has to say about these things, you may well have my interest and curiosity.Wellcome Collection's Sexology Season does just this, bringing lectures and events about taboo topics to a wider audience. I headed to Manchester's Museum of Science and Industry to see what all the fuss was about.

As an avid fan of The Royal Exchange, I like to keep track of all their productions. I'd seen adverts for their latest offering around Manchester and had been umming and ahhing over whether to get tickets. The decision was made to go after stopping to read the positive reviews on a poster outside the theatre in St Ann's Square. "It's really good, you should get tickets if you can." Our comments had drawn the attention of a young man standing on the steps next to us. After a brief conversation, it turned out he wasn't just an audience member who had enjoyed the performance - he was a member of the cast heading into the theatre to start work. His enthusiasm, combined with all the good things we'd heard about Scuttlers previously, clinched our decision to make sure we didn't miss it.
